VDOT says that traffic on I-64 has reopened. However, the scenic overlook at mile marker 100 will remain closed as crews continue cleanup.
“The Virginia Department of Transportation is advising motorists who may be traveling across the mountain passes in Piedmont Virginia – Interstate 64, U.S. 250, 33, 211 and 522 – to drive with extreme caution since icy conditions and thick fog have been reported in those areas,” VDOT said in a statement.
